1965 Map of Max Meadows

About this map

Max Meadows and the surrounding Wythe County landscape are defined by the convergence of the Reed Creek waterway and the Norfolk And Western railroad. This 1965 survey, updated with mid-1980s data, illustrates the industrial and agricultural heritage of the region, from the historic site of Walton Furnace to the riverfront activity at Grahams Forge. The map records a dense network of local institutions, including Fort Chiswell High Sch and numerous country churches such as St Pauls Ch and East Piney Ch.
